Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: python3.12 bug fix and enhancement update

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

Security Fix(es):

* python: cpython: tarfile: ReDos via excessive backtracking while parsing header values (CVE-2024-6232)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Red Hat Security Advisory: python3 security update

Red Hat Security Advisory: python3.9 security update

Red Hat Security Advisory: python3.11 security update

Python 3.12 is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted programming language, designed with an emphasis on code readability. It includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of third-party libraries.  The python3.12 package provides the "python3.12" executable: the reference interpreter for the Python language, version 3. The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3.12-libs package, which should be installed automatically along with python3.12. The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the python3.12-tkinter and python3.12-test packages, which may need to be installed separately.  Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.12-docs package.  Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with the "python3.12-" prefix.
